Initial reaction: Someone is still doing Michael Moore parodies in 2008?

Synopsis from IMDB: An anti-American filmmaker who’s out to abolish the July Fourth holiday is visited by three ghosts who try to show him the country’s good sides.

Aggh!!! I’m not even linking to the trailer to this, I’m just warning people of its existance. You can thank me later.

File under impressive, but freaky.

I ended up getting the PlayStation’s own Web-cam, the PS Eye, as I thought there would be some innovative programmes released to take advantage of it.

Was not expecting this. No sir.

I thought Almodovar’s last movie, Volver, was fantastic and am looking forward to his next teaming with Penelope Cruz, Broken Embraces. Via The Guardian, I discovered that Almodavar is blogging the production of this film, in such great depth that one entry is solely concerned with he & Cruz trying to establish how her characters hair should look.

I’ve always wanted to have a go at HDR photography, but don’t have Photoshop & think the attempts on GIMP look a bit lame…but stuff like this really makes me think I should have a go.
